Trump will hate this

The World Cup should celebrate fair play, not glitter-wash wars. Yet in less than 100 days, Trump could step onto the global stage of football's biggest tournament to distract from his aggressions. But we have a plan: if teams refuse to play in the US, it will be a major spanner in Trump's PR machine. Sign and share to spark mass withdrawals before the US World Cup. Football has always been about more than a game. It is about fair play, respect. The idea that people from every country can come together in the same field. In just 100 days, the US will host the biggest sports tournament on Earth. And for Trump it's the perfect red carpet moment, to polish his image, distract from his bombs and home politics that harm migrants, divide communities and weaken democracy. But we have a plan: if big national teams make it clear they won't participate in this kind of glitter machine, it will spoil Trump's dream of glory. Add your name now to help spark the pressure on the teams to step back - and send a powerful message that football should never be used to distract from aggression.

SIGN NOW Dear Terezinha, Football has always been about more than a game. It is about fair play, respect. The idea that people from every country can come together in the same field. In just 100 days, the US will host the biggest sports tournament on Earth. And for Trump it's the perfect red carpet moment, to polish his image, distract from his bombs and home politics that harm migrants, divide communities and weaken democracy. But we have a plan: if big national teams make it clear they won't participate in this kind of glitter machine, it will spoil Trump's dream of glory. Add your name now to help spark the pressure on the teams to step back - and send a powerful message that football should never be used to distract from aggression. Sign now: national teams - boycott World Cup games in the US Trump doesn't own the Cup, it belongs to people, to the fans, to the players, and the values it represents. Sport has the power to inspire millions across borders, religions and cultures. And that is exactly why we see our leaders often wrap themself into its glory. But football should never be used as a camouflage for policies that harm people's dignity and rights. When Russia invaded Ukraine, it took FIFA just four days to suspend them from the international competition. Yet Trump is still hosting it.  Together, we can ensure the world's biggest tournament reflects the values that make football loved across the planet. Sign now: national teams - boycott World Cup games in the US There's people-power in football. Not only did we mobilise over 1 million people to try to get Israel suspended from the World Cup, last month we managed to get UEFA, Europe's football governing body, to save a kids football pitch in the West Bank from Israel's bulldozers. Imagine if, through the power of people, we were able to convince national teams to stand up in solidarity with Trump's victims all over the world. We're daring to dream it - with your help, we can do it again.  In hope and solidarity,  Harriet, Julian and the rest of the Avaaz team More information: US-Israel attacks on Iran: Death toll and injuries live tracker (Al Jazeera) 'Not appropriate' for Iran to be at World Cup - Trump (BCC)

Avaaz vs Trump

Since I first wrote to you, Trump and his allies are now dropping bombs on Iran, and the world has grown even more volatile. But Avaaz won't back down. Will you consider a small donation to protect our work for the year ahead? I'll be honest: Avaaz has never faced threats like this. Trump is cracking down on his opponents, and he has the full weight of the US state behind him. We've campaigned hard against his vicious brand of politics for a decade. We know he holds a grudge -- and we're vulnerable. In the past year, we've seen: Organisations like Avaaz being added to Trump's "list" for investigation A new plan by the US government to crack down on progressive civil society, which it describes as "a vast domestic terror movement"The threat of US-based non-profits being slapped with huge taxesOrganisations and senior leaders working on global human rights getting hit with devastating sanctions. As the CEO of Avaaz, I'll tell you this: We won't be silenced. And that's why we must protect ourselves -- strengthening our legal defences, increasing digital security, and protecting our staff. We don't want to divert money from the critical campaigns we're running. So I'm asking for your help. Will you contribute just a small amount to keep Avaaz safe for the year ahead? Please give what you can:

Please give what you can: I'LL DONATE R$15 I'LL DONATE R$25 I'LL DONATE R$45 I'LL DONATE R$85 OTHER AMOUNT This past year has seen Americans across the country risking everything to stand against Trump's cruel agenda. He calls them 'terrorists', 'traitors' and 'pirates.' It's the kind of language that's silenced many voices. Some groups have lost funds, and others have cancelled crucial human rights work.  But last year, because members like you supported our Emergency Fund to protect Avaaz, we had the lawyers and logistics teams we needed to keep taking risks and speaking truth to power everywhere.     We ran massive campaigns against genocide in Gaza, supported community kitchens to feed thousands of starving families in Sudan, and helped Afghan women to escape the Taliban. It was one of our proudest years ever!  But the threats are growing in the US and beyond -- and the Avaaz Emergency Fund is running out. If we can raise enough now, we can: Get the best lawyers to help protect and fight for Avaaz as we speak out for democracy and freedom;  Keep our staff safe -- ensuring that all staff working on high risk campaigns get the support and protection they need; Boost our digital security -- continuing to invest in cutting edge protections for our data and technology, and; Rapidly respond to new threats as they emerge, ensuring we can manage risks as we continue our bold campaigning. Your donation will safeguard Avaaz and our collective dream of a world where we can all raise our voices in defence of justice, freedom, and dignity. Please give what you can:  I'LL DONATE R$15 I'LL DONATE R$25 I'LL DONATE R$45 I'LL DONATE R$85 OTHER AMOUNT Avaaz has never backed down in the face of bullies. And we never will. Together, we've stood up to a long list of authoritarian leaders: Putin, Trump, Bolsonaro, Orbán, and many more. We can only do that because of our collective power and the incredible support of Avaaz members around the world, like you. Now let's stand together again, and keep the dream of this movement alive. With fierce hope and endless determination, Bert Wander, CEO of Avaaz PS. This might be your first donation to our movement ever. But what a first donation! Did you know that Avaaz relies entirely on small donations from members like you? That's why we're fully independent, nimble and effective.
